The Baffler is giving away twenty free limited edition Baffler tote bags, register now at thebaffler.com and be entered to win!

“The Bafflers have, in their writing styles, the buoyancy of Mencken, but in substance, they’re in the tradition of the old-time muckrakers, those who challenged the power pillars of our society. I’ve a hunch that Lincoln Steffens, Upton Sinclair, and I. F. Stone would have approved.” —Studs Terkel
